Minutes of the Meetings of the IBTS Board
The Board of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service meet 6 times per year.
The minutes of the meetings are made available on the website after Board approval at the next meeting.
Platelets Donors
Our platelet donation clinics are in Dublin and Cork. Platelets are used in the treatment of cancer and leukemic patients, bone marrow transplant, new born babies and burns victims. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service provides life-saving platelets to all of the hospitals in Ireland. Due to the rising number of cancer diagnosis in the country, there is always a need for platelet donors. There are just 2,200 Irish platelet donors and we are looking for new donors to join the panel.

Bone Marrow Donors
For more than 80 diseases and disorders, a stem cell transplant can be a treatment option. The Irish Unrelated Bone Marrow Registry is determined to help patients find a life-saving unrelated donor. Every person who registers gives a patient in need a better chance of finding their life-saving match. It is important to understand what is involved in the process, including the commitment required. Find all the information you need here!
